This evening, Sumomo and I are very, VERY tired.

Sumomo is tired because, well, because she's a cat. Cats are born tired. You have to sleep a lot to process all the information you've discovered while satiating your kittenish curiosity. And as for me, between Thursday and Friday I had what can best be described as two "full, rich days", with lots o' work on top of a couple of fairly fatiguing commutes.

But no, it's more than that making us bone-weary.

It could be the (expletive deleted) fire alarm at 1:00 in the (expletive deleted) morning.

Or it could be the (expletive deleted) fire alarm at 1:30 in the (expletive deleted) morning.

Or it could be the (expletive deleted) fire alarm at 2:00 in the (expletive deleted) morning.

Or it could be the (expletive deleted) fire alarm at 2:30 in the (expletive deleted) morning.

Or it could be the (expletive deleted) fire alarm at 3:00 in the (expletive deleted) morning.

Or it could be the (expletive deleted) fire alarm at 3:30 in the (expletive deleted) morning.

Or it could be the (expletive deleted) fire alarm at 4:00 in the (expletive deleted) morning.

Personally, I think it was the (expletive deleted) fire alarm at 4:30 in the (expletive deleted) morning.

For the record, the cause was freezing rain shorting out the fire alarm system in the P2 level of the parking garage. An alarm in the parking garage means that the fire alarm was transmitted to each of the 1,423 units scattered across the three towers and 8 sets of strata homes that make up York Condominium Corporation #76. In case anybody thinks the Board should be aware of this, every member of the Board lives in the complex, and works days Monday to Friday. So yes, they are all too painfully aware of it. (I think that was our treasurer we overheard in the background yelling at the hapless security guard at one point, over his leaning on the alert button and not saying the proper script.)

I had a rather sleepless night myself althoug it was more closely related to a computer that refused to boot, constant power outages, and the frustration of trying to finish a research paper due under those circumstances! I followed official advice and just plain stayed home on Friday although I didn't get much more sleep then either. After 6 or so hours of playing FFXII to relax I was ready to tackle the (now late) essay again.
